Chapter 5: The two graceful immortals come up from the river
Liu Yu naturally took a piece of preserved fruit from the bag, stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "But Meng Chang's mind is not very broad. This man is very capable, but he doesn't seem to want to show his ability so quickly.
Talent. In other words, now is the time when the country employs people and needs to recruit soldiers, but Meng Chang doesn’t want to be targeted for joining the army so soon.”
"So, he pushed Tan Pingzhi to the front. If these three families really settle down, I'm afraid Tan Pingzhi and Wei Yongzhi will join the army, while Meng Chang will wait and see."
"However, it seems that Meng Chang is not that kind of northern family. If there is a northern family coming, I'm afraid they will go to Guangling City to meet the officials first. These people are escorted by General Xie who guards Guangling. How can they
Let them find the governor on their own."
Xu Xianzhi nodded: "But didn't the man named Meng say that there is a noble person coming later?"
Liu Yu's eyes fell on the river: "It should be coming."
A ferry had crossed the river. Following the strong river wind, a clear singing voice clearly reached the ears of Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi: "The boat is filled with hundreds of dendrobiums, and the sweetness of the four seasons is everywhere."
At both ends, holding a wine cup in the right hand and a crab claw in the left hand, swimming in the floating wine boat is enough for a lifetime!"
As this song came with the wind, the aroma of grilled crabs also floated over. Liu Yu shook his head: "I don't forget to eat crabs even when I'm on the ferry. It seems that a noble person is really here."
The ferry docked steadily on the shore, and the captain jumped off the bow and put down the pedals.
There were not many people on the boat, only about ten people, all of whom were well-dressed. None of them were like the three families just now. It was obvious at a glance that they were refugees from the north.
After seven or eight people dressed as merchants got off the boat, the last two people who walked out caught everyone's attention and even stopped breathing.
The person who came down earlier was in his early forties, wearing a green robe with a silk scarf, a hand-cranked feather fan, and a wide robe with large sleeves. Although he was just an ordinary scholar wearing silk silk clothes, he still had an aura like that of a god.
His face is like a crown jade, with delicate facial features, red phoenix eyes, sword-shaped eyebrows and a long beard, and a black beard reaching to his chest. The river breeze blows gently. Compared with those pretty boys who habitually apply powder on their faces in this era, although this person
Middle-aged people don't wear makeup, but they can still be said to be unparalleled in elegance. The so-called celebrities are romantic, but that's it.
The person at the back was wearing a white robe. He was about forty people. Others had already disembarked the ship. He was still in the cabin, sitting on a bed (an ancient seat, similar to a modern bench).
His appearance is even better than that of the one in front of him. His features are picturesque, his eyes are large and accurate, his complexion is as white as jade, he wears a jade hairpin, and his hair is down to his waist. When the river wind blows, his robes and hair are flowing, and he looks like a nine-day god.
But that's it.
The white-robed scholar held a crab shell in his right hand. He gently licked the crab roe on the shell. He held a brocade handkerchief in his left hand and wiped the yellow jelly from his mouth from time to time. Beside him stood a figure.
A strong servant, clothed in cloth and quick boots, with a powerful look, holding a porcelain saliva pot in his hand.
Every time the white-robed scholar took a bite of crab roe, another servant next to him would offer him a bamboo tube of water. He rinsed his mouth, turned around and spit it into the spit pot held by the servant on the left, and continued to take another bite.
.
In this way, after six or seven rounds, the scholar in white finally finished the crab shell, burped with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Lining the river with wine, sucking the yellow paste, you are proud of your life, and you are also dreaming and crazy! Hahahahaha
, Youdu, it’s a pity that you don’t eat with me!”
The scholar in Tsing Yi smiled slightly: "A Ning, Huan Xuanwu (the powerful minister Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, posthumously named Xuanwu) said well that Jingkou wine can be drunk and soldiers can use it. The beauty of this place is not only the delicious food in the river?
"
The scholar in white clothes stood up and disembarked from the boat, and said with a smile: "Well, this time I should accompany my brother on this trip. I would like to see what the benefits of this Jingkou wine are."
Liu Yu stepped forward and looked at the two scribes. Now he was very sure that these two people were so good-looking that they must be descendants of high-ranking families.
These children of aristocratic families either hold high positions and control the government; or they indulge in the mountains and rivers and travel around the world. They are completely different from ordinary people like themselves.
But the more this happens, the more I can't neglect them. At least as a local upright, I have the responsibility to welcome and send them off. Their accents don't sound like northerners, but rather locals from Jiangdong. Asking them about their origins, it's me.
Things that are part of the job.
The scholar in Tsing Yi had also noticed Liu Yu a long time ago. When the scholar in white was eating crab shells, he had been looking up and down at this strong man like a bear and tiger. He slightly twirled his beard and nodded. When he saw Liu Yu coming forward, he
Yaran smiled: "This strong man, what advice do you have?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "I am Liu Yu, the Li Zheng of Suanshan Township, Jingkou Town, Yanzhou, Southern Shanxi Province. I have been ordered to check and greet the merchants coming and going, and to resettle the people from the north. I wonder if you two can lend me a guide.
Watch?”
The scholar in white's face darkened, and he said unhappily: "You see me waiting, why do you want to check the directions?"
The Tsing Yi scribe smiled slightly and said, "Aning, I'm just performing official duties. There's nothing wrong with that." As he spoke, he took off a wooden sign from his waist, handed it over, and said, "This is my guide."
The scholar in white reluctantly took off his waist plate and handed it over. Liu Yu took it and began to read the words on it. Fortunately, the wooden plate was not engraved in small seal script, but in authentic regular script, and the words were recognized by him.
The scholar in blue was named Liu Linzong, and the scholar in white was named Yang Linzi, both of whom were ordinary people's names (most of the scholars in this era had single-character names, and the two-character names they had were those who believed in the Tao of Heavenly Masters in their families, such as Wang Xizhi and other ordinary people.
Merchants only use two-character names, even Liu Yu, a low-level scholar, also has a single-character name), while the other servants all follow the surnames of the two masters, and their waistbands were issued at the Jianwu General's Mansion in Guangling.
There is a mark on it, so it is definitely not a forgery.
After Liu Yu inspected them, he handed the two wooden signs back and said, "May I ask what you two do for a living, and why do you want to come to Jingkou?"
Liu Linzong smiled slightly and took the badge: "Both of us are merchants, and we also like to travel, so this time we want to come to Jingkou for a visit. Liu Lizheng, do you have any questions?"
Yang Linzi, on the other hand, did not take the waist card. He glanced at a servant next to him. The servant stepped forward to take the waist card and held it in his hand. Yang Linzi said coldly: "Since the waist card is correct, Youdu,
let's go."
As he spoke, he walked forward without looking back. Liu Yu watched him walking, took out a satin handkerchief from his arms, took the badge from the servant next to him, put it on his hand and wiped it vigorously.
Wiped it, and then threw the satin handkerchief directly into the grass on the roadside, as if there was something on the wooden sign that he couldn't touch.
